Case Studies – Construction

Building a Healthy Hospital

During the construction of the new Medical Center in Waco, TX, DRYCO was contacted by a national builder to deliver interior climate
control. The builder chose DRYCO for their ability to:

Deliver a consistent temperature and low humidity inside the hospital

Help prevent microbial growth

Help keep the project on-schedule by shortening dry times for adhesives, joint compound and fireproofing

Stabilize the climate for interior finishes

Remove excess water from concrete slabs

The eight + months that DRYCO was on the job, desiccant dehumidifiers, ArcticDRY units, air-conditioning and temporary power were used. DRYCO staff regularly monitored conditions and adjusted equipment settings throughout the job site to ensure optimum conditions.
